can reflective window film be used on a solar oven to allow sun in and then trap more of the heat?

I am building a solar oven and want to increase its efficiency. I was wondering if I could use a reflective window film. I would essentially be reversing the film from its intended use of reflecting sun out of the box(your house). I want it to allow the sunrays in to heat the oven and then reflect the heat back into the oven. Will I gain any efficiency?

surely thats a good idea . But , its like making a green house (same concept) , & green houses dont work as ovens , they r good providing heat for plants , or Warm environment for any project needed .
for it to be an oven , u gotta much more isolation

Solar Tower $70.1 A solar tower is a structure used to support equipment for studying the sun, and is typically part of solar telescope designs. Solar towers are used to raise the observation equipment above the atmospheric disturbances caused by solar heating of the ground and the radiation of the heat into the atmosphere. Traditional observatories do not have to be placed high above ground level as they do most of their observation at night when ground radiation is at a minimum.The horizontal Snow solar observatory was built on Mount Wilson in 1904. It was soon found that heat radiation was disrupting observations. Almost as soon as the Snow Observatory opened, plans were started for a 60 foot tall tower that opened in 1908 followed by a 150 foot tower in 1912. The 60 foot tower is currently used to study helioseismology while the 150 foot tower is active in UCLAs Solar Cycle Program. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Solar Furnace $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A solar furnace is a structure used to harness the rays of the sun in order to produce high temperatures, usually for industry. This is achieved using a curved mirror (or an array of mirrors) that acts as a parabolic reflector, concentrating light (Insolation) onto a focal point. The temperature at the focal point may reach 3,500 C (6,330 F), and this heat can be used to generate electricity, melt steel, make hydrogen fuel or nanomaterials.
